ONION PLANTS 
Texas Started Plants 
These famous Texas onion plants produce those 
large, mild, sweet onions that are so difficult to 
grow from seed here in the North. Or they can 
be pulled early for the first young green onions 
on your table. If allowed to develop, they reach 
creaming or even slicing size, very quickly. Seed 
is planted for us in Texas during the fall and 
the plants grow during the winter so they are 
hardy and can be lifted and shipped to us early 
in spring, for Northern planting as soon as 
ground can be worked, Orders accepted subject 
* to crop, and are shipped at proper planting time. 
Sweet Spanish or vavencta
